What is the correct Spanish translation for the English phrase 'Hit Him/Her'?

• A. Pegale
• B. Chingaso
• C. Pegar
• D. Golpear

Answer: (A)

When you translate a directive like “Hit him/her” you need the imperative form of the verb and a pronoun that points to the person being hit. The correct form is the tú command of pegar plus the indirect object pronoun le, giving ¡Pégale! This literally means “Hit him/her” and the accent on the é keeps the stress correct once the pronoun is attached.

The other options aren’t commands: chingaso is a noun meaning a punch, and pegar and golpear are the infinitives meaning “to hit.” So they don’t convey the imperative sense required here.
